Switch to Semesters

Switch to SemestersColumbus State (like all state-funding colleges in Ohio) is switching to semesters in Autumn 2012. But don't worry, Advising Services can help you through the transition.

What's changing with Semesters?

Contact your Advisor: Get in touch with your Advisor to make sure you're on track to graduate, or to make a plan for semesters.

Pledge Audits: If you're graduating before Autumn 2012, don't worry. If you'll graduate after then, see an Advisor to get your Pledge Audit. A Pledge Audit spells out the classes you'll need to graduate on time. If you started a program under quarters, you have until Summer 2014 to finish.

Degree Audit: Be sure to run a Degree Audit to see how close you are to finishing your degree. To run a Degree Audit, log on to CougarWeb and click on "My Degree Audit."

Finish up Course Sequences: If you're in the middle of a course sequence, like Math 102-103-104, try to finish up before the switch. Course sequences will be reshuffled to fit semesters.

Transfer Students: Be sure to check with the school to which you're planning to transfer. If they're a state school, they'll be switching to semesters, too.
